    A couple of basses...

    Oops, The buzz, on my Jazz bass, was on the Eb not the F, my bad. I will try what you recommended, and thank you. However, for the asking someone to show me part, that is very hard, as most people will snake out of doing it as they do not want someone else doing it, even for themselves...

    My boss doesn't understand neck relief.

    I am having some neck issues. I like my strings fairly close to the fret board, but not with a huge relief. How do I adjust the truss rod to get rid of seasonal buzzing, without creating too much of a bow in my neck?

    Mesa/Boogie Official Club Thread...Part #2

    M-9 carbine power issues

    Hey, Well, the technician that looked at it suggested the same thing. I tried that during our set break last night. Unplugged it for 15 min, then tried again, it did not send a signal to the outputs on the rear. Like I said in the original post, the D.I. works fine. I even tried plugging...

    M-9 carbine power issues

    Hi folks, I am new to this forum. I have been playing for over 20 years, through various amazing, and various despicable basses and amps. Being a fulltime musician does not always afford you the time to make money, to well, afford great gear. So I broke down and borrowed / gigged for some...
